A surprising, and I think intriguing seasonal post from the anti-EU journalist Mary Ellen Synon. However it is not about Europe but about the relationship between physics and religion.
She begins with a quote from the Tridentine Mass (her translation):
'"In the brightness of the saints, from the womb before the day-star I begot thee".
Which rather supports the suspicion I've had since the Large Hadron Collider got going: all those scientists underneath that mountain in Switzerland are asking questions about the wrong side of the big bang.. the big question is not what happened after time got going, but what happened just before.'
Just as well someone's giving it some thought: the Church doesn't seem to bother any more.
